Post Graduate Student Account

Hi, I've seen plenty of threads referring to regular student accounts but was wondering if there are any accounts out there which are tailored especially for Post Graduate students as I'm going back to uni in September to do a Masters and don't know whether to opt for a normal Student account for a year, stick with my Graduate Account or open a Post Graduate account. Any advice greatly appreciated! :cheesy:

    I haven't come across any specific post-graduate accounts, I went back to uni last year and found that not all banks would even let me have a student account while doing a post-grad course, hsbc for example specify that you have to do it within x number of years of graduating the undergrad one (x because i cant remember how many!!)

    natwest seem happy to give student accounts to postgrads. you may have to wait until you are actually starting the couse since you won't have ucas forms and things like that though. have a chat with someone in a branch and see what they say.

    Never come across a PG specific account...I'd definitely go for a student account over a graduate one though - better OD facilities.
